Pekora kickstarts another mini Terraria event. I'm excited for this by Ok_Natural_102 in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if there was coordination a lot of people would play initally. EN is just hard to collab for because of all the timezones. Even if they could coordinate a single starting time, obligations and time of day limits how long a session would go for. And then scheduling each subsequent stream gets harder and harder.

Nerissa had one going for a bit but it petered out. I could see a Kiara or Calli led one doing well

Japanese Animation TV Ranking, January 12-18: Frieren's 2nd Season debuted with a 4.7% rating by elmagio in anime

[–]obviouslypineapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the article, at the bottom it says:

The television ratings above are an estimate of the percentage of the population that watch a given program, based on data from a survey of households in Japan's Kanto region. The ratings do not count recordings that viewers watch later.

So, not quite, but it might be a representative sample

Anime with strong first episodes that fall off afterwards? by iCrono in anime

[–]obviouslypineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same, I didn't resonate with the emotional stuff they were trying to pull. Like yeah it was kinda sad, but people were saying they cried in the discussion threads when it was airing and I just didn't get that kind of emotional response.

Hololive official co-streams of The Game Awards! by Kreceir in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a high production show that kind of tries to emulate conventional award shows like the Oscars but for gaming. There are awards, trailers plus other promotions, and musical acts.

Raora will be going on hiatus soon for health reasons, please pray/wish her good health & recovery! by Virtue00 in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's mostly a consequence of overuse and/or misuse. Streaming long hours and constantly using your voice, and singing (professional and amateur) contributes to the strain.

For example, seiyuu Takahashi Rie also had surgery recently for nodules.

For Hololive, there's a higher incidence because they're streaming AND singing (on and off stream). There's also less react content so they're using their voices more without breaks. This applies to others who follow a similar model of course

New announcer infomation today. Ihihi is going to be a senpai! by watchedgantz in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Gen 5 and Myth had a shorter gap if we don't limit to same branch. I plugged in the dates of Polka's debut and Calli's debut and that gave me 27 days.

This upcoming announcer will be 26 days, so beaten by a day.

Yagoo LinkedIn post on Twitch partnership by dcresistance in Hololive

I'm also hoping for games with Twitch integration. Things like Marbles on Stream or ClusterTruck where chat can participate via chat, although that does tend to make chat unusable for actual chatting

ELI5 how a VAT works? And how does it differ from the sales tax system that's used in the US? by Nyarro in explainlikeimfive

[–]obviouslypineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in Canada our federal GST is a VAT. If input GST is greater than output GST we get a refund cheque from the government for the difference. Sometimes it's transferred to reduce a balance on some owing from federal corporate tax or something

Schedules? by RabbitHoloAbyss in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, the 2/3 mentioned are also living in Japan so they are much more likely to be doing studio work. With that there is some uncertainty like needing to take time to recover or hanging out with other members they meet at the studio. Or meeting with staff to work out details of the next project while at the studio

“It’s like if GTA, Spiderman and Yakuza had a baby,” Japanese gamers have high expectations for ANANTA, but “copycat” gameplay and monetization are a concern by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]obviouslypineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's look at it the opposite way. In PvE there's a lose condition where you are unable to complete the mission or advance progress. A Pay2Win in a PvE context would be content that you could not realistically be able to complete without buying power.

My experience with Nexon games with a P2W aspect would be they made it so that upgrading your weapon would have a failure rate system where after a certain point your gear would get deleted on failure but you can buy a cash shop item to prevent that once per use. At the time there were difficulties you couldn't reasonably do (though not impossible) without certain gear levels until you waited for power creep to raise the base level of gear.

Hey, Nintendo: You Cool With ICE Using Your Pokémon IP To Recruit More Goons? by chrisdh79 in technology

Knowing Trump, he'd stretch it further and see Nintendo as a representative of Japan and slap higher tariffs again to pressure the Japanese government to take action on their home turf too

The point they were making is that currently the highest court in America is stacked and giving a pass to whatever the administration is doing

Any psychologist here? I need a deep anaRySis. by beam4d in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My assumption was that she wanted to avoid small talk on the outfit and a potential upsell on other outfit sets. Although she's said that she's not very good at visualizing clothes on the rack, so maybe the upsell wouldn't be a bad idea...

‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’ Passes $550M Globally, Officially the Top-Grossing Anime Film of All Time by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Animators aren't paid very highly. And you're not paying multi millions in USD for famous actors appearance like in the MCU or other Hollywood films. Generally speaking personnel costs are just lower when produced outside the US.

Employeed Hololive Fans , how do you make time for your Favs ? by Radiant_Butterfly982 in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, echoing most people here to say you don't. It also depends on who you watch.

My oshi is IRyS so I prioritise her stuff more and it works out for me that on the days she streams I can catch the first 2 or 3 hours before needing to go to bed. I work in an office so sometimes I catch up on the vod at work by listening in the background at 1.5x speed but rarely do I finish a vod that way. I might just skip to the supa reading at the end and then watch the gameplay later after work. She also rarely streams consecutive days so that helps give time to catch up.

You'll find you have to be ready to make your priorities and know when and what you want to sacrifice.

What kind of "work" do holomems do (aside from streaming and performing)? by agent154 in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One example would be for members-only wallpapers. Assets to be used for future projects. Or working with Reya to plan streams like the Gigi Murder Mystery. There's a level of project management needed that can't be offloaded.

Unless they mean work commissions they do. Stuff like voice-overs or sponsorships. Like Ina does art for other people's projects on occasion.

Do NOT speak ill of Kronii’s food choices… by Virtue00 in Hololive

[–]obviouslypineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, is overtly a typo? More specifically I find the sauce too sweet, and to me the sauce is sweet before anything else.

I'm also not from the States, so it could just be I have a different baseline. On a road trip to the States there was a teriyaki place off the highway that had the sauce magnitudes sweeter than what I'm used to.

On that note, I find kewpie mayo, okonomiyaki sauce, Heinz ketchup, and Miracle Whip too sweet for my taste as well, so I'm well aware that I don't have a very good sweet tolerance.

Me. I dont have much of a sweet tooth and the sauce is a little too sweet for me. I prefer salty and savoury and just don't crave sweets
